Diet Trumps Genetics

As it turns out, our genes don't dictate our destiny... at least not
entirely, according to Jason Shon Bennett, an Auckand-based health
researcher and author. His studies of centenarian cultures around the world
where they eat predominately a plant-based diet led him to conclude that
avoiding animal products and eating a plant-based diet with mostly
unprocessed, whole foods can prevent and reverse most of the typical chronic
diseases that are found in societies where animal products are abundant.

Itís no surprise that eating foods that leave a small footprint on the
planet and that donít require the abusing and killing of Godís creatures are
also very good for our health. Eating a plant-based diet is a good way to be
good stewards of our bodies.
